The Food Analysis Lab uses analytical chemistry to study the quality and functions of foods and how food components behave in the body. The lab pursues its research with the aim of "creating foods that contribute to physical and mental well-being." It searches for food components that can help prevent hypertension, diabetes, and dementia, and studies how they are absorbed and how they act.

The Food Hygiene Chemistry Lab studies bacteria that cause food poisoning, spoilage bacteria, and the storability of foods. Its research themes are reducing contamination of agricultural products, improving food storability and freeze tolerance, research on foodborne pathogens, and control of foodborne pathogens and spoilage bacteria. In its research on foodborne pathogens, the lab examines the distribution of drug resistance, virulence, and Persisters, which are bacterial cells in a state of reduced drug susceptibility.

The Food Process Engineering Lab studies the fundamentals and applications of fields essential to the food processing industry, such as industrial food production, food manufacturing machinery, and food waste treatment. The lab investigates the aroma and texture of foods and the properties of emulsions, which consist of a water phase and an oil phase. The lab also works on food processing and chemical processes using microwaves, and on recycling food waste using nanomaterial catalysts. The lab belongs to the Food Chemical Engineering group in the Biosciences and Biotechnology section of the Faculty of Agriculture, Graduate School of Kyushu University.

The Microbial Technology Lab studies the gut microbiota of people around the world, aiming to understand the relationship between diet and health. The lab analyzes the gut microbiota through joint research with microbiologists, medical researchers, and researchers in industry around the world. The lab also studies the mechanism of toxin production by pathogenic bacteria in the gut (quorum sensing) and how to control it. In addition, the lab studies the structure, function, biosynthesis mechanism, and applications of bacteriocins, antibacterial peptides produced by lactic acid bacteria.

The Cell Regulation Engineering Lab uses cultured human and animal cells to study how cell functions become differentiated and how to control this process. The research targets lifestyle-related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and allergies, as well as the molecular basis of aging. Its goal is to boost immunity and healing capacity not only with drugs but also with foods and drinking water that people can consume daily, leading to the prevention and improvement of intractable diseases. Graduate students from the Graduate School of Systems Life Sciences and the Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences conduct research together in the lab.

The Microbial Genetic Resources Lab collects and cultures microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, and phages and other viruses from a variety of environments in Kyushu, including hot springs and pastures, and studies their characteristics and the structures of their genomes and proteins. The goal is to turn the functions and products of the microorganisms it finds into useful genetic resources that enrich people's lives. Its research subjects include phages that infect thermophilic bacteria, the relationship between silica and thermophilic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria and actinomycetes.

The Forest Planning Lab conducts research on temperate and tropical forests, with sustainable forest management as its keyword. Wood from forests supports people's lives as material for paper and construction and as energy in the form of firewood and charcoal. Forests also play roles in biodiversity and carbon storage, so they need to be managed sustainably according to a variety of criteria. Its main themes are evaluating forest management methods based on ground surveys and developing forest monitoring systems that use technologies such as remote sensing.

The Forest Conservation Lab conducts research and education that helps solve disasters and problems caused by the movement of sediment, water, and trees. The lab studies the water and soil conservation functions of forests from the perspective of disaster countermeasures. It also works on developing methods that predict the movement of floods and sediment through numerical computation, and on methods that control them with structures such as sabo dams.

The Forest Policy Lab studies the relationship between forests and humanity from the perspectives of the humanities and social sciences. The lab considers what kinds of solutions are needed for the problems that forests and forestry face. Because 80% of Japan's forests are in hilly and mountainous areas, the lab also treats the state of mountain village communities as an essential factor. The lab's research covers not only Japan but also the forests and forestry of East Asia, Europe, and tropical Asia.

The Watershed Environment Control Lab studies how human activities affect forest functions such as water source conservation, carbon storage, and soil conservation. The lab takes up forest management, air pollution, the spread of bamboo groves, and increasing deer numbers as factors behind these effects, and clarifies them through fieldwork in university forests and elsewhere. Based on the results, the lab considers how forest watersheds should be managed. The lab seminar is held in a hybrid format, and anyone who wants to sit in or visit can get in touch through the contact page.
